Pammvi is the authorised suppliers, agents, dealers and wholesalers for Aflatoxin M1 ELISA test kit.

Aflatoxins belong to the class of mycotoxins. Che­mi­cally they are defined as difuranocyclopen­ta­no­cu­marines or difuranopentanolidocu­marines, i.e. aflatoxins contain a dihydrofuran or a tetrahydrofuran ring, to which a substituted cumarin system is condensed. Out of about 20 known aflatoxins, the moulds Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus produce exclusively aflatoxin B₁, B₂, G₁and G₂, and all the other aflatoxins are derivates of these four. The derivates are developed either by metabolism in humans, animals and microorganisms or by environmental reactions.

Aflatoxin M₁ was the first metabolite of Aflatoxin B₁, which could unequivocally be detected by Allcroft and Carnaghan in the milk of cows in 1963. Out of this reason this first derivative was called Aflatoxin M₁ (= milk). As further investigations showed, also other mammalians excrete Aflatoxin M₁ in milk, feces and urine. Contaminations of milk and milk products can be hazardous for human beings, because M₁ is similar to Aflatoxin B₁ regarding its he­patotoxicity. M₁ is only less carcinogenic.

In order to protect people against aflatoxin-induced diseases, there is a need for the qualitative and quantitative control of endangered foodstuff, besides appropriate hygienic precautions, which avoid the formation of aflatoxins. TheAflatoxin M₁ ELISA is a quick, economical and sensitive method to detect aflatoxin M₁ in milk and milk products. After an appropriate sample preparation, 40 samples can be tested in duplicate within 140 minutes.

In addition to the Aflatoxin M1 ELISA (DEAM1E01) and Aflatoxin B1 ELISA (DEAB1E01), Immunoaffinity Columns are available:

The Aflatoxin (total) Immunoaffinity Columns are used for the purification and enrichment of Aflatoxin (total) from different matrices. The resulting eluate can be quantitatively analyzed by various analytical techniques like the Aflatoxin B1 and M1 ELISA or HPLC.
